PWHL Vancouver inks forward Hannah Miller as free agency opens
PWHL Vancouver has signed former Toronto Sceptres forward Hannah Miller as a free agent.
The expansion team announced the deal Monday, the first day of the league's free agency window.
The 29-year-old Miller has played two seasons in Toronto, and contributed 10 goals and 14 assists in 29 regular-season appearances during the 2024-25 campaign.
She previously spent five seasons with the KRS Vanke Rays in Shenzhen, China.
'I'm truly honoured and very excited to be joining the team in Vancouver,' said Miller. 'It means so much to me to represent the city where I first fell in love with the game. It's a real full-circle moment, and I can't wait to meet all the fans and get started!'
Internationally, the native of North Vancouver, B.C., represented China at the 2022 Beijing Olympics and scored the host country's first goal of the Games.
Miller was named to Canada's roster for this year's women's world hockey championship in March, but was later ruled ineligible due to International Ice Hockey Federation transfer rules.
'Hannah is an elite forward who can put up points and wear down opponents,' said Cara Gardner Morey, PWHL Vancouver's general manager. 'We are excited to bring her home to Vancouver to be part of our foundation.'
PWHL Vancouver will continue adding to its inaugural season roster with six picks in the 2025 PWHL Draft on June 24, including the seventh overall selection.
